Effect of a vinegar-hydrogen peroxide mixture on the surface properties of a cobalt-chromium alloy: A possible disinfectant for removable partial dentures

Strategies for Preventing and Treating Oral Mucosal Infections Associated with Removable Dentures: A Scoping Review

“…Additionally, for removable partial dentures, caution is warranted due to the oxidizing effect of sodium hypochlorite, which may have adverse effects on the metal components [ 141 ]. In such cases, alternatives are recommended, including effervescent tablets, cetylpyridinium chloride, peracetic acid, and chlorhexidine [ 48 , 126 , 127 , 136 , 139 , 142 , 143 ]. Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge that these alternative solutions also have their limitations.…”

“…The by-title/abstract screening resulted in the exclusion of 452 articles The full text of the remaining 131 articles was screened, and 104 of them were selected [2 16,18,22-37,40,41,43-45,47,49-88,90,92-116]. Another 38 articles were found in the gra literature, 19 by a senior expert indication [19,39,89,[117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132], and 19 from searchin citations [38,48,[133][134][135][136][137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149], resulting in a total of 142 articles for the scoping review according to the study workflow in Figure 1. Another 21 articles were used to describe th essential definitions in Sections 2.2.1 and 3 [1,17,20,21,42,…”

Anti-fungal recombinant psoriasin effectively inhibits Candida albicans growth on denture base

“…These include incorporating antimicrobial agents like silver or titanium oxide nanoparticles, which have shown effectiveness against Candida albicans (35)(36)(37). Alternative methods involve coating the PMMA surface with zwitterion or hydrophilic molecular chains (38,39). In addition, incorporating 5% zinc dimethacrylate (40), or much lower concentration of 0.045% copper nanoparticles (41) has proven effective in inhibiting C. albicans growth.…”

Propriedades mecânicas e de superfície da liga cobalto-cromo impressa em diferentes angulações para confecção de estruturas metálicas de Prótese Parcial Removível

“…The microorganism adhesion has a positive relationship with both parameters since high SFE values may induce pathologies colonization. 16 Nevertheless, only SFE can not be responsible for creating biofilm pellicles because it depends on factors such as protein composition, electrostatic forces, environmental pH, and a more complex process. 15 Also, the surface roughness is another factor that contributes to the process of plaque accumulation and retention of microorganisms.…”

“…Because of repetitive cycles of insertion and removal of RPDs from the mouth, mechanical properties such as elasticity module and flexion resistance are fundamental to prevent the prostheses failure during the function. 14 Another point is the surface properties as substratum characteristics that can influence biofilm colonization, 15,16 affect oral health and shorten the prosthesis's longevity. Therefore, the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the mechanical and surface properties of the Co-Cr alloy produced at different construction angles by the AM technology used in the manufacture of RPD infrastructures.…”
